Greetings guys - I'm new to the area and just found out the the NE lake at Fairfield Lakes gets stocked with trout each spring. I'm guessing these guys hunker down deep during the summer, but wanted to find out of you guys had any tips to offer for fishing Fairfield Lakes for trout with my fly rod!
Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike,
they do indeed stock the lake with trout. For the most part the trout are fished out in a few weeks but that lake is over 35' deep so some probably survive over the summer. I haven't had much luck there in the past two years for the trout. If we were talking bass, that's another story. ;D
As a side note, I'll probably be out there at Fairfield today or tomorrow. The best way to fish it is from a kayak or canoe. There's TONS of poison ivy around the lakes and the pressure on some lakes from the banks can make the lakes seem empty of fish. I drive a silver Subaru WRX wagon, so if you see that I'll be in a camo kayak on oe of the lakes. I avoid the north east lake, too many people.

Hi Dave: Thanks for the tip! Next time I'm out there I'll keep my eyes out for your Subaru. I stopped by last night to see if I could get any takes on my bass poppers, but didn't have any luck. Good luck when you are out!

Poppers are the thing right now. Try this, park in the parking lot and walk to the lake there. There's a sidewalk leading to it. Walk to the end of the sidewalk, go to the left. Walk around the trees. Start fishing the first open spot on your right. Cast out as far as you can. There's a hump there with a drop off about 20-30' off shore. HUGE bluegill there. Bass are deep, but I've seen them cruising in the 4' deep areas
